NEW YORK - LaMarcus Aldridge made his Nets debut and found playing in the post to be a breeze on a team so potent from the perimeter. Jeff Green outscored Charlotte by himself in Brooklyn’s overpowering first quarter before finishing with 21 points, and the Nets got a strong first outing from Aldridge in a 111-89 rout of the Hornets on Thursday night. Aldridge started at centre and had 11 points, nine rebounds and six assists, looking like a good fit for a Nets team that won for the 20th time in its last 23 games. Loading... Loading... Loading...
